Leucaena leucocephala is legume tree that feeds your fruit trees and provides chop-and-drop mulch
Leucaena leucocephala is a small fast-growing mimosoid tree which. It is a legume, and therefore, nitrogen fixing. Leucaena leucocephala is very efficient in nitrogen fixation, at more than 500 kg/ha/year. It has a very fast growth rate: young trees reach a height of more than 20 ft in two to three years.
It is native to southern Mexico and northern Central America (Belize and Guatemala) and is now naturalized throughout the tropics. Common names include white leadtree, jumbay, river tamarind, subabul, and white popinac.
During the 1970s and 1980s, it was promoted as a "miracle tree" for its multiple uses. It has also been described as a "conflict tree" because it is used for forage production but spreads like a weed in some places.
From Geoff Lawton: "With the cooler weather of winter arriving at the Greening the Desert Project in Jordan, it’s time to chop-and-drop. The dense canopy that has grown over the summer needs to be opened up to allow in both the sun and rain. The canopy will change radically, and the thinning will enable trees beneath it to grow. The dropped material will add lots of organic mulch and nitrogen to the soil, feeding and protecting the soil life. This is how we design the way a forest grows and falls.
For those not aware, placing nitrogen-fixing legume trees between fruit trees will provide natural fertilization on the root level, as well as through the chop-and-drop of the mulching material. There should also be ground covers, often more nitrogen-fixing plants or herbs to distract/attract insects or forage crops for grazing animals, which provides even more natural fertilization as they munch along. In essence, we are assembling support plants and other elements to continuously benefit our productive trees without us having to regularly interact with the system.
Leucaena is the main chop-and-drop tree we’re using here, and it produces a very nitrogen-rich mulch as well as small branches that can be cured into firewood. The trees are pollarded to about head height, removing all foliage to be piled around the base of the trees. Then, the leucaena can regrow several meters throughout a year (Other trees, such as Jerusalem thorn and hibiscus, are performing similar functions but to a lesser extent). This cycle produces a tremendous amount of carbon and organic matter to form quality humus on the forest floor every year.
In the case of a leucaena, within a month of pollarding, lots of sprouts will have emerged along the tree’s trunk and from around the cuts. These tender shoots should be snapped off by hand on a weekly basis, fostering the growth of just three or four vertical branches over the next year. This will keep the trees from crowding the understory, as well as constantly feed the soil with new material. Done on a weekly basis, the pruning is possible by hand, but left longer, cutting back the branches will require a saw. Over time, the damaged areas from where branches have been pruned will develop scar tissue, which prevents new growth in that spot.
The chop-and-drop system feeds the soil and helps to develop fungal systems and mycelium webs to structure the soil nicely. This is how we can use the fast functioning of weedy, legume species to build new forests by design. From there, we adjust to the site’s evolution, adding and amending irrigation here and there. The pollarded trees will regrow over the winter such that they provide shade in the summer when needed, and the healthy cycle repeats."

Bischofia javanica (Bishop wood) is an invasive tree in Florida
This rapidly growing evergreen or semievergreen tree can reach a height of 75 feet but usually is seen 40 to 50 feet tall in Florida.
The dense rounded crown and thick trunk used to make toog tree a popular shade tree. However, enough light will not penetrate for a lawn to grow underneath toog trees.
There are too many other high quality trees available in USDA hardiness zones 10 and 11 to encourage planting this tree.
Apparently, the fruits can be used in making wine. The seeds, which are reportedly edible, contain 30-54% oil, which is used as a lubricant.

Santol, cotton fruit tree (Sandoricum koetjape)
Sandoricum koetjape (santol or cottonfruit) is a tropical fruit that originated in Southeast Asia (the former Indochina). It is sometimes called wild mangosteen. Santol grows wild in the tropical regions of India.
Santol is fast-growing tree that may reach 150 feet in height in its original habitat. It makes a good shade tree. The santol is a very productive tree.
Red and yellow santol
There are two varieties of santol fruit, previously considered two different species, the yellow variety (sweet) and the red (sour). The difference is in the color that the older leaves turn before falling. The red appears to be more common and the reddish leaves mixed with the green ones add to the distinction and attractiveness of the tree.
The leaves of the yellow variety turn yellow when old and the fruits are often sweet. In the red variety, the underside of the leaves turn red when old, the fruit has a thicker rind, less pulp, and is often sour.
Fruit looks like a peach
The fruits are often the size, shape and slightly fuzzy texture of peaches, with a reddish tinge. Both types have a skin that may be a thin peel to a thicker rind, according to the variety. It is often edible and in some cultivars may contain a milky juice.
How to eat the fruit?
The fruit is usually consumed raw without peeling. It is the size of an apple/peach.
Inside the santol fruit there is a white juicy tissue approximately 3 to 5 brown seeds. You have to discard the seeds (spit out or other method). Swallowing the seeds has been implicated in cases of intestinal obstruction.
The central pulp near the seeds may be sweet or sour and contains inedible brown seeds.
Santol’s other name - cotton fruit — comes from its fluffy white edible portion surrounding the seed. Its texture is spongy and, like a mangosteen.
The outer flesh is unexpectedly savory, earthy and astringent with some likening the flavor to basil or oregano. Few deny that the outer, grassy tasting flesh is not nearly as succulent as the cottony portion of a santol. The rind is quite sour, compelling some to dry it, grind, or pickle it for use as a souring agent.
In some varieties the outer rind is thicker and is the main edible portion, with a mild peachy taste combined with some taste and the pulpy texture of apples. In others the outer rind is thinner and harder and the inner whitish pulp around the seeds is eaten. This may be rather sour in many cultivars, which has reduced the general acceptance of the tree. Most improved varieties have increased thickness of the edible outer rind, which can be eaten with a spoon leaving just the outer skin, and should increase the acceptance of the santol worldwide.
Season
The fruit ripens in Florida in August and September. The Caribbean fruit fly (Anastrepha suspensa) causes freckle-like blemishes on the surface of the fruit but cannot penetrate the rind.
Where to buy the tree?
The fruit tree is available in 3-gallon sizes at Pine Island Nursery, south of Miami: http://www.tropicalfruitnursery.com/fruitproducts_sw.htm

Kumquat fruit tree
Kumquats (or cumquats in Australian English) are a group of small fruit-bearing trees, placed within Citrus family. The edible fruit closely resembles that of the orange (Citrus sinensis), but it is much smaller, being approximately the size and shape of a large olive. Kumquat is a fairly cold-hardy citrus. They are much hardier than other citrus plants such as oranges.
The English name "kumquat" derives from the Cantonese word gam gwat, literally "golden tangerine". The plant is native to south Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.They were introduced to Europe in 1846 by Robert Fortune, collector for the London Horticultural Society, and shortly thereafter into North America.
They are slow-growing evergreen shrubs or short trees, from 2.5 to 4.5 meters (8 to 15 ft) tall, with dense branches, sometimes bearing small thorns. The leaves are dark glossy green, and the flowers are white, similar to other citrus flowers. Depending on size, the kumquat tree can produce hundreds or even thousands of fruits each year.
Propagation and pollination
Kumquats do not grow well from seeds and so are vegetatively propagated, using rootstock of another citrus fruit, air layering or cuttings (using a rooting gel/powder).[8] They are self-pollinating as are most citrus.
Hybrid forms of the kumquat include the following:
Calamondin: mandarin orange x kumquat

Grafted vs Seedling Fruit Trees - Which to choose?
From http://www.daleysfruit.com.au:
The choice between a grafted fruit tree and seedling fruit tree can depend on many factors. We discuss some of them in this video.
Grafted Fruit Trees
- True to type
- Can not cross pollinate each other
- Same or Known Fruit as the parent tree
Seedling Fruit Trees
- Genetically unique
- Can cross pollinate each other
- Need to mature
- Each tree has slightly different fruit.

Free wood chips for mulch are available from the local power company
Most local power companies have a program that provides free wood chips. Here is one example from FPL in South Florida:
"When our line-clearing contractors are trimming trees in your area, you may be eligible for free mulch. Once FPL’s line-clearing professionals have completed work in your area, they will use a wood chipper to grind the tree limbs and branches into mulch. This type of mulch is different from store-bought mulch, which is treated and made from one kind of tree. The quality and consistency of this mulch varies considerably, depending on the types of trees and leaves removed during the tree work. FPL does not recommend this mulch for aesthetic use in formal landscape beds, but rather for use around trees and other plants to:
Maintain moisture
Maintain soil temperature
Reduce weeds and grasses
Provide nutrients to the soil, and
Reduce wind erosion from uncovered soils.
Orders for mulch are filled based on a minimum of one truckload. This is equal to 14 cubic yards of mulch, which is approximately 130 bags from a retail store or 25 wheelbarrow loads. To order free mulch, call the phone number on the letter or door card you received to request an application."
